Strategic support for export market development funding and international expansion initiatives.
Government funding and export support can help Australian businesses reduce the cost and risk of entering new markets, building international demand and expanding globally.
Export grants and government support programs are designed to help Australian businesses develop international markets, promote their products and services overseas and build the capability required for sustainable export growth.
Support can include matched funding, export marketing assistance, market-entry programs, international connections, trade missions and specialised industry funding.
Entering an overseas market requires investment in marketing, market research, partnerships, travel, regulatory preparation and business development before meaningful revenue may be generated.
Government export programs help reduce some of these barriers and encourage Australian businesses to pursue new international opportunities.
Expanding internationally requires more than a good product.
The right funding and support can help businesses test markets, build overseas relationships, strengthen export capability and invest in international growth while reducing some of the financial pressure associated with expansion.
Austrade’s EMDG program supports eligible Australian SMEs with export marketing and promotional activities. The program supports businesses at different stages of their export journey, from becoming export-ready through to expanding into existing or new key markets.
The NSW Government’s Going Global Export Program provides eligible NSW SMEs with tailored market-entry support, including expert training, market insights and connections designed to help businesses enter or expand into international markets.
Additional export-related funding can become available through Australian Government, state government and industry-specific programs. Opportunities may support areas such as international market development, trade participation, capability building and sector-specific export growth.
Funding streams are available to eligible defence SMEs, including an Exports stream intended to strengthen Australian defence industry capability and global competitiveness.
We help Australian businesses identify suitable export support programs, strengthen export readiness and prepare competitive applications for opportunities such as the Export Market Development Grants (EMDG) and the NSW Going Global Export Program. Vebiz combines funding guidance with practical export strategy so support is aligned with your broader international growth plans. EMDG is designed to help eligible Australian businesses develop export markets, while NSW’s Going Global program supports SMEs entering or expanding into selected international markets.
We review your business, export experience, target markets, marketing activities and growth plans to assess readiness for relevant export programs and identify the strongest funding or support pathway.
We help prepare and structure your EMDG application, organise relevant export market development information and supporting documentation, and guide you through the application and grant management process. The current EMDG program provides grant support across different exporter tiers and has funding allocated for 2025–26 and 2026–27.
For eligible NSW businesses, we help assess fit for Going Global opportunities and strengthen the market-entry case behind your application. The program provides tailored training, market insights and support for SMEs entering or expanding in international markets.
We help connect grant support with a practical export strategy, including target-market selection, market-entry planning, positioning, partnerships and commercial priorities so funding supports sustainable international growth rather than operating as a standalone application.
